That hot summer day I had no idea the difference the Scripture, “Sanctify them by Your truth,” would mean in my life. I had been raised in a religious private school that had not taught me about the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and the difference belief in His death and resurrection would make in one’s life. In hindsight, this… read more →

“The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him—a Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of counsel and strength, a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.” – Isaiah 11:2″ Today, I’m picking up where I left off last year! Sitting in the middle of a snow storm (my kitchen is surrounded by windows on three… read more →

It seems Luke is the only one who recorded the appearance of Jesus on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:13-35 (listen here). This incident involved two believers who were in Jerusalem for the Passover, but were now returning to Emmaus (a 2-3-hour walk; about 7-8 miles northwest of Jerusalem). As they walked, they were sadly discussing the events of… read more →

Believe it or not, each Christmas we celebrate how new birth comes through pain. Mary through pain gave birth to the world’s Savior. I am writing this blog for the one who has experienced pain this year, but not the new birth. John 16:21 states, “Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but… read more →

Some of our bushes became overgrown this year, and now would be a great time to prune them back so they flourish again in the Spring. This brings The Gospel of John, Chapter 15, to mind. A study… read more →

“He came into the very world He created, but the world didn’t recognize Him.” – John 1:10 It was in my early elementary school days, when my second-grade teacher noticed that I was having difficulty seeing the blackboard. I was happy in my own little world, and though it was a bit blurry, it was all I ever knew! I… read more →

Proverbs 30:5 NLT states, “Every word of God proves true.” I could not help but think of the flood in Genesis, Chapters 6-9, when I saw the devastating effect of recent hurricanes, especially Harvey upon the Texas region. For years people have questioned whether the flood was true or even possible. Due to man’s limited understanding, he constantly questions the… read more →

Isn’t it wonderful to live in the Age of The Jetsons? – “The Jetsons” is the name of a Hanna-Barbara cartoon that first aired on ABC in the early 60s. As I watched as a young child, I got a glimpse of family life in the future. Back in the 60s, FaceTime and Skype were a distant dream, but today… read more →

A total solar eclipse swept across a portion of the United States from Oregon to South Carolina on August 21st. It was a rare occurrence that held the amazement of many. During this solar eclipse, the light of the sun was obscured by the intervention of the moon between it and a point on the earth. I am amazed at… read more →
